Category listing pane sliders always open problem

Hi,

I use at_cesmino template for J2.5 with hikashop, and on frontpage my category listing accordion menu (for hikashop categories) is always open and doesn't respond to opening/closing a category.
What could be the problem?

This template doesn't have jquery on/off option in template options (I read somewhere it can be mootools/jquery conflict but I don't know how and where to fix it).

thx.

Hi there,

Yes it's probably a bug comming from a Jquery/mootools conflict.
Could you give us a link to the page so we can check it?

I sent it now to support@hikashop.com..please check.

Try to install this extension to solve the problem:

Jquery Easy

Hello!
I have the same issue.
Before I used 2.x Joomla categories slider worked. After Joomla upgrade to 3 v., the code of menu has changed(added accordion classes) and slider does not work anymore. No JS errors at all.
Can you please give me some tips, maybe template misses some js code. JQuery easy does not help.
At least, where I can see 3.0 Joomla&hikashop sites with accordion working?

Thank you!

Hi,

Do you have some view overrides ?

We don't have a Joomla 3 demo website. I tried special effects (carousel, sliders) on a local J3 website and they are working.
I had a little CSS problem with the horizontal slider but the animations works good.

So, would it be possible to have a link to your store in order to see it directly ?

Thanks,

Hi kostia_lev,

Your website uses Joomla 3 but your template does not include bootstrap (css/js).
Please deactivate the option "use bootstrap design mode" in order to not use the Bootstrap Accordion (which use bootstrap CSS and JS) but use the Joomla accordion system.

twitter.github.io/bootstrap/javascript.html#collapse

Regards,

The option did not help. So I just added bootstrap.css and collapse.js from the link you gave me. Now it works, thanks!

Hey Hikashop,

Firstly, thanks for the great Joomla Ecommerce solution!

I have desperately been trying to get my category listing accordion menu to work like your Demo site.
I have read this Forum repeatedly and scoured Google several times... to no avail.
Please help or advise.

Problem is;
On your demo site; when the page loads ALL the sub-listings are collapsed.

On my site (localhost, not yet public) every time the page loads the first sub-listing is always visible.
Even I have select a different sub-listing and navigated to that page, the first sub-listing is always visible together with the sub-listing I navigated to.

Example of problem - please view attached image.


Site specs:
Joomla 3.1
Yootheme Master template (Warp 6 framework)

Thanks in advance!!!

Ps.

The accordion effect itself works.
Problem is Digital Cameras is always visible, unless I manually close it.

Hi,

I remember such issue with old versions of HikaShop. Can you make sure that you have the latest version (2.2) ?
If no, could you try to update ?
If yes, could you provide a link to that page so that we can see that ?

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for your reply and suggestion.
I have updated Hikashop to 2.2 like you suggested.
Unfortunately the problem persists.

I am unable to give you a link to the page as it is not publicly available yet (it's on my dev PC [localhost]).
I can send screen shots if that will help?

Also, when I completely disable all bootstrap and JS files controlling the accordion, the first level still stays open.
This means the listing helper or template file is building the list with first level open.
I prefer not to hack the core files, but I need to get his working.
Which file/s are responsible for building the category list?

Thanks!

Hi,

Screenshots won't help.
We'll really need to analyze the HTML/Js on a live website.

But if you want to look at it yourself, you can look at the file listing_list of the view "category" via the menu Display>Views.
The accordion system is generated using the joomla library in the second half part of the file.

Hi Nicolas,

Went through the entire listing_list view (listing_list.php) and hacked whatever seemed to build the list (accordion).
Some things do change, but the first level is always open (this being the original problem).
Something else must be building/controlling the list.

I have also switched to Joomla's default template with the idea maybe it is the Yootheme template causing the issue, but it's not.

All out of ideas and time...

What is weird though; is the HTML and CSS is built by something else, and not entirely the listing_list parameters.
Maybe this can shed some light.

Firebug view of accordion (HTML):
<div class="hikashop_subcategories_listing">
<div class="hikashop_subcategories">
<div id="category_panel_179" class="accordion">
<div class="accordion-group">
<div class="accordion-heading">
<div id="category_pane_0" class="accordion-body collapse in">
</div>
<div class="accordion-group">
<div class="accordion-group">
</div>
</div>
</div>

I remember that someone had accordion opening issues because he had several modules using the accordion on his website and that the joomla library doesn't support that. Maybe it could be the issue here ?

I have the same problem - first category stays opened on page refresh or browsing thru other catogories in the menu. Did you ever find out what caused the problem?
Using hikashop 2.2.2 +joomla 3.15 + gantry template

best regards.

Hi,

A modification has been made recently about that to let the first category closed by default.
Thanks to download the latest version of HikaShop from our website and install it over your current version. (v 2.2.3)

After the update all menu items stay closed no matter what subcategory user presses in the menu. Is this normal behavior with the latest update?
